"Our women’s hiking group had a wonderful stay at Raven’s Retreat. We appreciated the large kitchen and gathering space to enjoy cooking together. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the artistic approach to the furnishings. They have a beautiful setting in the woods with trails, a creek and many wildflowers. We hope to go back the next time we are in the Hocking Hills!"
"Raven's Retreat is all that it claims to be and much more. It provides simple, and thoughtful accommodations, surrounded by remarkably untouched nature... This is all a mind, body and soul needs to find a place of restored balance and joy.. In addition to this, both Raven and DJ are an incredible wealth of knowledge regarding health, nutrition and wild edibles. I left inspired to clean up my diet, and with new interest in learning about the wild plants growing in my own backyard! I fully recommend Raven's Retreat if you are seeking peaceful surroundings to reconnect to yourself and nature. And if you are interested in developing further healthy habits, make sure to check in with Raven or DJ. They are both very laid back about it, and yet incredibly wise in many areas of wellness and very generous with sharing their knowledge!"
"Very beautiful place to stay and not too far from the State parks. Raven and dustin are very friendly and accommodating. The details in the building are absolutely stunning. It's a great place to unwind and relax after a big day of hiking. The sound of the frogs around the pond at night were a nice change to the city sounds we're used to. Overall, we were very impressed and would definitely recommend staying at Raven's!"
"Ravens retreat was a great place to relax and enjoy nature. Raven and Dj were gracious host and we will be returning."
"The Pollinator was such a unique and beautiful place to stay! My boyfriend and I stayed a few nights during our college spring break and it was a great place to relax and get away from chaos! They had all of the necessities and we loved the hot tub! We would definitely recommend this place! Raven and Dustin were great hosts and are amazing people!"
"We stayed at the Pollinator tiny bungalow and it was absolutely perfect for our trip. We were close to all of the sites we wanted to visit but with a private retreat to relax in as well. The bungalow is well thought out and has everything you could need. All while being very visually appealing with the finishes and decorations. We enjoyed all of our time spent at the Pollinator and would highly recommend it to others looking for a unique and relaxing stay."
